I had propane for heat when we bought our house (1200sqft ranch) 28 years ago. The first winter (end of Dec. on) it cost me +- $1800 for gas. Installed a Treemont airtight stove next summer and heated with wood for 10+ years. The good: a 1000lb tank of gas would last 3+ years (hot water and clothes dryer along with supplemental heat when stove went out). House was too warm (near 80* when the temp was above 10* with the windows cracked). The bad: in order to get the 8" triple wall chimney above 150 and keep creosote from forming, the stove temp had to be above 600*. Couldn"t stand it in the house a that temp. was good for one chimney fire a year. Didn"t bother me too much, but scared the hell out of the wife. Our volunteer fire dept. didn"t know how to deal with an airtight stove and a chimney fire (don"t ask me how I know). As soon as natural gas became available, I converted and never looked back. Removed the stove after a year of gas. Currently heat the house for $1800 a year and that includes heating a 24"x40"x8' insulated pole barn to 55*.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
